Suds in the Bucket - Sped Up

She was in the backyard

Say it was a little past nine

When her prince pulled up

A white pick-up truck

Her folks should've seen it comin'

It was only just a matter of time

Plenty old enough

And you can't stop love

She stuck a note on the screen door

"Sorry but I got to go"

That was all she wrote

Her mama's heart was broke

That was all she wrote

So the story goes

Now her daddy's in the kitchen

Starin' out the window

Scratchin' and a rackin' his brains

How could 18-years just up and walk away?

Our little pony-tailed girl grown up to be a woman

Now she's gone in the blink of an eye

She left the suds in the bucket

And the clothes hangin' out on the line

Now don't you wonder what the

Preacher's gonna preach about Sunday mornin'

Nothin' quite like this

Has happened here before

Well, he must have been a looker

A smooth talkin' son of a gun

For such a grounded girl

To just up and run

'Course you can't fence time

And you can't stop love

Now all the biddies in the beauty shop

Gossip goin' non-stop

Sippin' on pink lemonade

How could 18-years just up and walk away?

Our little pony-tailed girl grown up to be a woman

Now she's gone in the blink of an eye

She left the suds in the bucket

And the clothes hangin' out on the line

Yee-hoo!

She's got her pretty little bare feet hangin' out the window

And they're headin' up to Vegas tonight

How could 18-years just up and walk away?

Our little pony-tailed girl grown up to be a woman

Now she's gone in the blink of an eye

She left the suds in the bucket

And the clothes hangin' out on the line

She left the suds in the bucket

And the clothes hangin' out on the line

She was in the backyard

Say it was a little past nine

When her prince pulled up

A white pick-up truck

Plenty old enough

And you can't stop love

No, you can't fence time

And you can't stop love
